If you won a date with the President, what would you ask him

Earlier this month, four lucky contestants who had entered a President’s Dinner contest won the chance to sit down with Barack Obama and the First Lady for dinner. During the course of the dinner all four couples,were given the opportunity to ask the President and First Lady questions and the two shared stories on their kids, marriage, etc. The POTUS was very candid as he shared a few personal stories including how he tried to impress Michelle on their first date and the time he tried to braid his youngest daughter’s hair before her ballet rehearsal.The guest were also given the opportunity to share stories of their own. One winner in particular almost reduced the President to tears when he explained how the health care legislation had helped his son get brain surgery.

President Obama on his first date with Michelle

Our first date, I took her to the art museum, or the art institute, so I was trying to impress her and show her I was a real culturally sensitive guy. And it worked. So I’m giving tips to the young men out there…

President Obama on braiding Malia’s hair before taking her to dance practice

My favorite story out of this is Malia, when she was 4, she had a little dance thing. Well, Michelle was gone that weekend so I’m taking her to ballet. And I get her in her little leotard and her little stuff. I did her hair, put it in a little bun. We get to the dance studio and one of the mothers there right away comes up to Malia – she thinks she’s out of earshot of me and she says, ‘Sweetie, do you want me to redo your hair?’ And Malia who she’s 4 says, ‘Yes please, this is a disaster’ you know, she didn’t want to hurt daddy’s feelings.

[YouTube Link]

After Touré criticized his interview of Robert Zimmerman and some pretty heated back and forth on Twitter, CNN host Piers Morgan invited him to his show so the two could talk about race, the Trayvon Martin shooting and who was the more professional reporter. Good times! Here’s what each had to Tweet after the interview:

Touré: Resorts to name calling cuz I killed him on his show. RT@lolaogunnaike: Why is @piersmorgan calling @toure a fatuous loudmouth? It’s beef?

Piers Morgan:Poor old @Toure just got exposed for what he is – an unprofessional, fatuous, loudmouth. Tune in at 9pmET to see for yourself #CNN

Touré: Will be interesting to see if tough guy @piersmorgan edits our interview to save his ass or shows it like it really happened.

Let us know who is smarter, because that’s really what this is about.

While doing the promotional rounds for her small role in ‘Battleship’, Rihanna took time out to talk about Beyonce and Jay-Z‘s daughter Blue Ivy.

Having recently been introduced to the Billboard record-breaker, the 24 year old couldn’t hide her excitement at meeting her chart-rival’s offspring.

Talking to our friends over at Capital FM, the model said of her boss’ baby:
“Yes I have (met her)! She’s, it’s unreal. It’s unreal!

You couldn’t get more perfect than that child, she’s beautiful. And she really is Jay-Z’s twin. It’s hilarious. She’s beautiful!”

Sweet. Although she left out the part about Blue already singing better than her…

Jay-z Releases Rocawear ‘From Marcy To Barclays’ Commercial

p-townlogic-jay-z

Jay-Z just released his first-ever commercial for his first-ever venture outside of music: Rocawear.

In the heyday of Rocawear, all the fellas wore the word across their chests and on their jeans. Now, Jay is beginning a new era with his own personal brand of street-level sophistication. The new promotion for the urban brand stylizes Jay-Z’s rise from Brooklyn’s Marcy Projects to the top of New York City. And he laced the black and white visual with some dope fashion cinematography in a commercial titled “From Marcy to Barclays.”

Carter’s Rocawear brand represents his prowess as a business man who continues to challenge himself to be more than merely a musician. In the spot, Jay explains “ My goal was to have one gold album and that was it.  And then it became, I want to show that an artist can ascend to the executive ranks.” Ultimately it has been Jay-Z’s ability to inspire his customers that has afforded Rocawear over 10 years as the number one brand in its’ space. Carter continues, “Rocawear just keeps reinventing itself and redefining itself every single day.”

Solange Talks Love For Chrissy Lampkin, Sexual Dominance & Protecting The Fam

Solange Knowles is a huge Chrissy Lampkin (Love & Hip Hop) fan. She’s also willing to f–k you up, like Chrissy, if you come at her family sideways.

In a her recent ‘Women Are Complex Too’ feature for Complex Magazine, she gave them the low-down on how she likes to get down in the bedroom and where she plans on living for the rest of her life in a series of this-or-that type questions. But more surprising, was her love for Chrissy, who she says could teach her a boxing lesson or two.

Peep the excerpts:

On whether she’d rather be submissive than dominant. Strong, independent women share this sentiment of wanting to be taken over sexually behind closed doors. It’s the natural balance for a woman like me.

I’d rather live in the U.S. than Europe. I talk sh-t about the American way, and how much more together Europe is as a society, but traveling as much as I have, there are lots of things I appreciate about home. I plan on living in Europe at some point, but for now I’m good in Brooklyn.

I’d rather be on the cast of Love & Hip-Hop than Project Runway. I’ve never seen Project Runway, but I’m a huge Chrissy [Love & Hip-Hop star Christine Lampkin] fan. I’d need to take boxing lessons from her first though, nahmean?

I’d rather be the cool aunt than the authoritative aunt. The closer my sister came to motherhood, the more stern she was with my son, Julez, but when he was between the ages of 1 and 4, she put the s in spoiling. I had to deal with the cool aunt for seven years, and I’m ready for payback! Late nights, candy binges—I’m doing it all!

I’d rather have known my parents when they were younger than only know them as my parents. My mother was the most stylish, flawless woman I’ve ever seen. My father had a little cool, but my mother was a different breed of cool. I’ve looked through photographs of her that inspire me today. She’s partied at Studio 54, hung out in ski chalets in Colorado, and played Cleopatra in a play in Egypt. She’s insanely cool in her 50s, but I wouldn’t pass up being with her in her prime!

I’d rather be the protector than the protected. I’m naturally the protector—being a mother and having a famous family. You have to navigate when it’s right to protect. I’ve made mistakes, but just know, if you step to me and mine, me and Chrissy gon’ have to f-ck you up.

There always has to be at least one person in a wholesome fam who is willing to act ratchet if they have to.

Bobbi Kristina Snags A Role On ‘For Better Or Worse’, Finds A Mentor In Tyler

Bobby Kristina wants to continue her mom’s legacy and what better place to start than a new acting gig?

Over the weekend, it was announced that Bobbi Kristina had snagged a recurring role on Tyler Perry’s ‘For Better Or Worse’ Season 2 which will premiere this summer.

Now more details have emerged, suggesting that Whitney’s mother Cissy Houston was instrumental in getting Bobbi Kris on the show. She had a long talk with Tyler Perry about Bobbi Kris and he assured her that he would not only be a professional mentor but also a personal mentor in her life so that she can continue to be surrounded by good role models.

Cissy’s main concern was her granddaughter’s’ reported drug and alcohol use, however, acting gigs should keep her occupied for the time being.   Since she is said to have a good singing voice, a musical feature in the future is also likely.

Weeks ago, when Bobbi Kris interviewed with Oprah. she made it very clear that she’s prepared for the pressures of continuing Whitney’s legacy:

I have to carry on the legacy. We’re gonna do the singing thing. Some acting, some dancing. It’s a lot of pressure, but she prepared me for it.

The interview was ratings gold for Oprah’s OWN Network, pulling in 3.5 million viewers. She’s expected to be a ratings hit for Tyler Perry’s new sitcom as well.
